Title:

Nemesis Prime 1st (Original) Target

Description:
Nemesis Prime (Ultra Class, 2004)

Accessories: Missile launcher, 2 missiles, 2 "scythe” missiles, Dead Matrix

Universe Nemesis Prime is a Target-exclusive redeco and retool of Beast Wars Neo Big Convoy, transforming into a woolly mammoth. His beast mode has no leg articulation, but has a rubber trunk which can be controlled by pushing a lever on the top of his head. In addition, the his tusks can be moved by pulling back either of his ears.
In robot mode, Nemesis Prime is absolutely chock-full of weapons and gimmicks:
His spring-loaded cannon, formed out of the beast’s head, back, and tail, can fire two missiles from two barrels in succession with a rotating dial. It is held in his hands via 5 mm post and can be stored on his back, though doing so may cause some stability problems owing to its weight.
His shoulders can be swung up to reveal sculpted, non-firing missile pods.
He has flip-out tonfa melee weapons in his forearms.
The two beast panels on the sides of his legs feature two spring-loaded missile launchers that fire his hook-shaped projectiles.
His chest panel flips down, revealing the Dead Matrix, painted black with a transparent red center. This accessory can be held by any figure with standard 5mm fist holes.
Nemesis Prime also technically has a third mode, known as the "Devastation Mode”, in which his cannon is folded out in mammoth mode, and the spring-loaded missile launchers on the mammoth’s side panels are deployed.
Like Big Convoy, Nemesis Prime is a renowned shellformer, as practically all of his beast mode kibble are shells that fit around the compressed robot to form this mode. Not helping matters, his instructions show you how to transform him from mammoth to robot... despite the fact that he is packaged in robot mode. This, along with the fact that several parts were turned backwards to better fit into the box, makes him rather difficult to correctly transform.
His two "scythe” missiles and the leg panels his launchers are on have been slightly retooled from the original version of this mold, with the missiles no longer being able to be inserted as deeply as before, and the panels being remolded to accommodate them. Unfortunately, this tooling change actually prevents the panels from attaching securely in mammoth mode, meaning the missiles have to be removed for transformation. Additionally, the tonfa compartments on his forearms are now removable, with their joints being detachable plastic hinges instead of fixed pin hinges.
Nemesis Prime was released in Japan as a "USA Edition” toy, and was sold exclusively at JUSCO stores starting on August 5, 2004.
